770 Stabbing Victim Released from Hospital

Levi Rosenblatt, the 22-year-old Bochur who was stabbed inside 770 last week is now home from the hospital.

Levi underwent emergency surgery after he was attacked with a knife by Calvin Peters, a mentally unstable man who was subsequently shot during a standoff with police.

“Mr. Rosenblatt suffered a knife injury to the blood vessels in an extremely sensitive area of his brain,” chief of neurosurgery at Bellevue Hospital Dr. Paul Huang said in a news release.

“Because of the resources available to us, as well as the experience and expertise of the nurses and physicians at Bellevue Hospital, we were able to deliver a very sophisticated level of care to this patient. He underwent a procedure to repair two blood vessels, which was successful. He has had an amazing recovery.”

Levi expressed gratitude for his successful treatment.

“I have a lot of people from way back in the beginning to thank, above all, God and the Rebbe who provided his blessings,” he said in the release. “Thanks to the Hatzalah of Crown Heights volunteer ambulance service, the NYPD, the doctors and nurses here at Bellevue and at Kings County Hospital, my friends who stayed with me in my room around the clock, my family who came from Israel to be with me, and all the people all over the world who have prayed for me.”
